2. The word bellicose means to inclined or eager to fight, or to be aggressively hostile. By stating that politics have always been bellicose from the very begining, Chavez is saying that politics is like a battlefield. when candidates uses phrases like, "took his best shot" or "firing a shot across the brow" they are using aggressive phrases to crash their opponent. By being rhetorical, or belong to, this way of speak it keeps the nation from ability to fully express ourselves.
3. A) Chavez is attempting to persuade the readers to realize that just because the nation as a whole has freedom of speech does not give it the right to use it to cause others harm. However the nation should also not be offended but words that have been adapted from their original means.
B) For example the word "gay" original meant to be happy but society has changed its meaning into another word for homosexual. By the nation be offended by the meaning that it itself creation is unsense.
4. I agree with Charvez’s article. I do believe that just because we have freedom of speech does not give us the right to abuse it. Having freedom of speech is a privilege and should be used with care. We should be civil in public. We should remember that words hurt and that we should think before we act. However we should not be offended by words that were created with different meanings. By getting offended by someone calling you “gay” when gay original meant to be happy, is ridicules. To avoid being offended by words created with a different meaning we need to stop changing the meanings of these word. We need to stop using these words against together. By not using these words against each other, and not changing their meanings, we’ll have the ability to express ourselves fully.
